The Effects of Knowledge Base Diversity on Cross-Industry Innovation Performance: The Moderating Role of Network Embeddedness by Yang Zhou, Chunyu Meng, Xin Chen

“…To reveal the impact of knowledge base diversity (KBD) and network embeddedness on cross-industry innovation performance (CIP), we performed an empirical hierarchical regression analysis using patent data from the mobile phone industry. The results show the following. (1) There was an inverted U-shaped relationship between relevant KBD and CIP and a U-shaped relationship between nonrelevant KBD and CIP. (2) The effects of relevant KBD on CIP were negatively moderated by an enterprise’s structural embeddedness (SE) and relational embeddedness (RE) in the innovation network. (3) The effects of nonrelevant KBD on CIP were positively moderated by an enterprise’s SE and RE in the innovation network. …”

Mobile platform continuous authentication scheme based on gait characteristics by Li YANG, Zhuoru MA, Chenghui ZHANG, Qingqi PEI

“…The popularity of smart phones renders people extremely high requirements for safety.But the traditional one-time authentication method can’t continuously guarantee the security of equipment.To solve the problem,a continuous authentication scheme based on gait characteristics was proposed to realize the identification of current visitors.Moving average filtering,threshold-based useful information interception method and other operations were adopted to reduce noise interference.Template interception was used to maximize the utilization of information,and an optimal combination of time domain features and frequency domain features were proposed to reduce the storage space requirement of users’ information.Finally,the support vector machine realized the identity authentication function.Experiments show that the proposed scheme can effectively authenticate the identities of visitors.…”

Intellectualized forensic technique for Android pattern locks by Jiahao QIU, Weidong QIU, Yangde WANG, Yan ZHA, Yuming XIE, Yan LI

“…In the field of digital forensics, how to unlock mobile devices such as phones has always been an urgent problem to overcome.As a special kind of password, pattern lock is widely used in mobile phone screen unlock and software access authorization.Existing pattern lock cracking techniques have several non-negligible disadvantages, such as poor concealment, low practicability, non-intelligence and single application scenario.Two basic threat models were abstracted from shoulder surfing, surveillance camera, and real-time forensics, and a multi-scenario side channel attack on pattern locks was proposed.Based on the data of surveillance camera or manual video, intelligent vision recognition algorithms were adopted to identify, select and track the target device and biological key points in the video dynamically.Then, discrete tracking points were integrated by spatial mapping and pruning algorithm.The denoising algorithm was used to eliminate redundancy and optimize the trajectory.Through procedures above, the original trajectory was simplified into regular polylines defined by several key turning points.Finally, the simplified pattern was compared and matched with the rules of legal pattern locks to inference and retort its actual pattern.Possible candidates will be sorted in the output according to their confidences.Results show that in the surveillance camera scenario, where the device screen is always visible, the cracking success rate of our technique is 89% for 10 attempts and 99.3% for 20 attempts.In the face-to-face scenario, where the subject consciously blocks the screen and his drawing finger, the success rate was 82% after 10 attempts and 89.3% after 20 attempts.In the surveillance camera scenario, the increase of shooting horizontal distance can significantly decrease the cracking success rate.But this effect diminishes with the increase of the number of attempts.Results show that the cracking success rate of the complex password is always higher than that of the simple password during 20 attempts, which means a complex pattern lock cannot play a better protection role if the proposed technique is applied.Shooting angle deflection within 5° has little effect on the success rate of cracking.…”

Impact of the nationwide implementation of mobile number portabilityon mobile communications market by Wenyu HU, Xiaoyan DOU

“…China’s mobile users were taken as a research object,using the random sampling survey method and the survey way of CATI (computer-assisted telephone interviewing) to conduct research on the mobile subscribers market’s structure and impact after implementation of MNP (mobile number portability).The Markov probability transfer matrix was used to predict the market share of mobile phones in China,North China and South China after the implementation of MNP.And the inflow and outflow path model was proposed innovatively.In addition,the focus was on regional characteristics,duration of use,ARPU value and number of MNP to further analyze the concerns and reasons of MNP.The result shows that the longer duration of use,the higher the ARPU value,and the stronger the willingness to choose other operators and the northern subscribers have more willing than the southern.The conclusions provide reference for the decision-making of communication operators.…”
